I hope you’re enjoying a relaxing Fourth of July weekend! Just a quick note to let you know my novel, Surrendered Hearts, is FREE on Kindle July 1 – 5! This is the perfect summer story to enjoy this weekend.

Here’s a summary: Jennifer Evan’s life changes forever when a gas pipeline explodes and causes a fire at her apartment. Losing her home and beloved dog are terrible blows, but the ugly scars that cover her arm, neck and shoulder steal her confidence and cause her fiancé to desert her. With her funds depleted and her job on hold, she heads for Vermont where she hopes to reconnect with her brother and find a way to rebuild her shattered life.

Bill Morgan, her brother’s roommate and the head naturalist at the Wild River Nature Center, is a strong, quiet man whose faith runs deep. His efforts to share his faith with Jenn seem to push her farther away. But caring actions sometimes speak louder than words, and Jenn’s heart is drawn to Bill in spite of the spiritual gulf that separates them. Will she hold on to the pain of her past, or will she surrender her heart and find the faith and love she seeks?

Surrendered Hearts has more than 180 great reviews on Amazon including this one: “The author has created a powerful, moving story with Surrendered Hearts. I loved this novel. Loved Bill Morgan. He’s the hero every girl dreams of, and Jennifer Evans was a likable character as well. . . The book is heartwarming and touching, and I loved the ending. This story is a five all the way in my book. This was the first time I’ve read this author, but it won’t be the last. In fact, I just purchased another book by her and can’t wait to read it. This is a well-woven story.”
